Limits |Noah Sebastian/ Bad Omens|

36: Limits. (END OF ACT-ONE)

Author's note: Last month was so hectic, I am so sorry Limits has taken as long as it has to be updated. Please remember this is the final chapter of ACT-ONE before we start the 'sequel/ ACT-TWO' there won't be a separate book as I stated before that everything will be all in this book. Please know the trigger warnings will be updated before ACT-TWO begins. A huge thank you as well for loving this story of Faith, it blew my mind as I was just thanking you all for 32k reads and now we are celebrating 36k together, truly thank you all so much. Tell me what you are excited about for our lovely Faith, she has been through so much and remember her story isn't done.


"Let's go, let's go!" hollered my brother as we all stood near the bus. This was it, the first official day of tour for these guys and Jamie and I were bubbling with excitement over the fact we got to tag-along with them, both our jobs loving it just as much thinking we need to get in as many bands as possible for the next few weeks.

"Wait, everyone get in front of the bus!" Bryan called as he passed the camera over to a friend of theirs before jogging up to the group that all watched. "Everyone say tour!" he smiled standing in between my brother and Jolly.

"Tour!" we all repeated before disbanding and heading onto the bus. My mother already texting me asking if I had made my next therapy session—she was the only one who knew I was speaking to my therapist, and part of me hated that because this was something I never wished to happen, part of me would feel the guilt knowing that I made my own parents worry like this, knowing that they dropped everything for me.

It wasn't long before everyone was on the tour bus, joking around having what I considered a good time. Noah sat with his arm wrapped around my shoulder as his thumb traced circles on my shoulder. I wore shorts and a tank top thanks to the weather being on the hotter side, my hair tied in space buns as two pieces fell in front of my face to frame it. "Are you excited? This is your first tour" Noah asked, looking at me as if no one else on this bus existed besides us.

Was I excited? Yes but I was equally terrified. Since the accident I had closed in on myself, never as bad as when I saw my ex but enough for Noah to notice me creating a distance. This was my first time seeing a tour, being included but also meant I was now in the light of the fans and the anxiety of that wasn't something I was used to. "Oh I am, I mean I get to see my boyfriend perform and thousands of people simp over him and his friends? " we both laughed at that as I snuggled more into his side. "So, are you going to tell me who this band is?" they wouldn't tell us who they were only that they were a surprise. Some newer band that had been blowing up recently, but I'd be lying if I said I was paying attention to the music scene these days beyond the bigger names that everyone spoke about.

"You'll have to wait and see; they are really nice guys and I think you will love them" he smiled as he sipped his water he held.

"Oh, will I now?" my brow arched in question.

"Mhm, don't fall too in love with them though—I don't want to have to fight someone on this tour" rolling my eyes I patted his chest before tuning into Jamie's and my brother's conversation.

We were starting at a festival where apparently we were going to meet with this band before hitting the road all together. Jamie and I had our cameras charged and our little microphones to carry—I was going to be asking fans who they were excited to see while Jamie headed over to the bands in the tents which I didn't mind, knowing I was going to be with the fans meant I could blend in when needed. "We play at eight, make sure you guys are there" Nick called out to Jamie and me as we stepped off the bus.

"Keep bugging me and we'll see" I joked before closing the door and waving Jamie off. Getting to the stage area I saw fans watching as bands played, even nodding along to a few songs myself. I continued on my mission before finding a young girl who seemed excited. "Excuse me hi. I am actually wondering if you'd be interested in—"

"Holy shit, you're Faith Folio!" it caught me off guard how excited she was, "I watched your episodes on Jamie's podcast I love your work!" she beamed at me before taking a sip.

So much for blending in. "Cool! So, can I ask you a few questions then for the podcast? Of course if you don't want to that is perfectly okay, I will be on my way!" I smiled trying to not get too many looks from the drunk people around us.

"Of course, hell yeah I am in! Is Jamie here. . . Is Nick here?" she seemed like the person to not see the bands much before coming here.

"Yeah, both are here. Bad Omens play at eight tonight so hopefully you get a good spot" I smiled pulling out the small microphone and setting my phone up on a small tripod I carried with me. You would be surprised on what you seen carried around during festival season—some of the items were really creative. "Welcome friends, we are here at the lovely festival season and today I am interviewing some fans of the bands and in this case the podcast, can you tell us your name?" I smiled pointing to the microphone at the girl who beamed in excitement.

"Jane! Oh my god, this is so cool!"

"Jane, so cool to meet you—what band are you most excited for?"

She thought for a moment, "oh man I don't know—I am for Bad Omens, but I think part of me is more excited to see Spiritbox" she said softly.

"Hey no shame in that, who doesn't love some Spiritbox" she seemed relaxed at that.

The next two hours went by in a breeze where I did interviews with dozens of people, some sober and wholesome and some so drunk I don't even know if their words were even eligible.
Jamie and I put our stuff away before heading to the stage Bad Omens were playing, standing side stage she handed me a drink I accepted watching as the team had just finished setting up. The crowd out in front of us cheering for the guys to come on. "Showtime ladies" Nicholas said as he and Jolly headed out first making the crowd lose their minds.

"Blow their minds, Ruffilo" I said out to him.

Nick ran up kissing Jamie on the cheek before heading to his kit where he blew here another kiss. They began playing their intro for their song Artificial Suicide which sent chills down my spine knowing how Noah's unclean vocals always sounded to me. "I'll be back in forty minutes" Noah said stepping beside me sliding the black ski-mask with their logo 'death-peace-mind' on it.

"Forty minutes without me, what ever will you do" I said running my hand along his chest feeling him tense, it was a tease, and I knew it was working by the glint in his eyes. "Don't think of me too much out there" I said looking up at him.

He groaned as he leaned down pressing his lips onto mine—the screams from some fans meant they saw as he smirked down at me. "Impossible, especially when you are all hot and sweaty" he said placing one more kiss on my lips.

"Gross, Sebastian get your ass on stage" Jamie nudged him as he laughed before heading out on the stage the music going into que as they began their set.

Towards the end, my phone buzzed as my mother was calling me, signaling it to Jamie she knew I was going to take it as I headed back towards where our trailer was for our stuff.
Sliding the phone to hit the answer I pressed it to my ear. "Hi mom" I said trying to sound as excited as I could.

"Hi Fae, how is tour so far?"

"Mom we just started" I reminded her. When Nick was gone on his first tour she would call him every day asking how he was, it wouldn't surprise me if she did the same thing for me with this being my first tour with them.

She laughed, "I know—I just wanted to check in on you and make sure you are okay, how is the pain?" she was referring to the pain I still had from my accident.

"It's okay, I have my pain medication packed with me in case I need it—mom I am with Nick, and the band you know nothing bad is going to happen to me right?"

She was silent for a moment. "I know, but Faith I don't mean to be overbearing it's just the accident really scared me" she admitted softly, "I even joined in therapy for myself, it's scary when your kid gets hurt like that especially after not speaking for years" she said softly, afraid to hurt me.

Feeling my heart shatter as the guilt wormed its way in, I rubbed the back of my neck. "I know, I'm sorry mom. . . I love you and we will get through this okay? Can I call you tomorrow when I get the chance?" it was the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt my own mother.

"Of course, I love you Faith—speak soon" she said before we both hung up.

Sighing at the thought, I looked around our trailer—we had a case of water not too far in here and with the heat of everything I needed something to hydrate.
Grabbing a bottle, I heard my name spoken. "Hey, Faith."
